Freehold block disposal
Freehold block disposal is the sale of an unsplit freehold residential block as a single multi-unit asset — assessed, positioned and executed through a controlled process, rather than exposed to the open market and priced on individual flat values.
Disposal as a transaction, not a listing
A freehold block carries a single title, in-place tenancies and its own structural profile. Treating its sale as a transaction — with correct positioning and execution discipline — is the difference between a block that lists and a block that sells correctly.
Title and tenancy complexity is normal
Title complexity, mixed-use elements and in-place tenancies are common and acceptable. They are factored into how the asset is positioned and how the deal is structured, rather than treated as obstacles to a clean disposal.
A controlled buyer environment
Rather than broad exposure, a controlled process engages informed parties who understand multi-unit ownership — protecting confidentiality, pricing and negotiating position through to completion.
Common questions
- What is freehold block disposal?
- Freehold block disposal is the sale of an unsplit freehold residential block as a single multi-unit asset. It is approached as a structured transaction — assessment, positioning, a controlled buyer process and oversight to completion — rather than a marketing listing priced on individual flat values.
- Why use a structured disposal instead of an estate agent?
- Generalist agents tend to price a block as the sum of its flats, misread title and tenancy complexity, and rely on broad exposure. A structured disposal reflects multi-unit ownership, protects the negotiating position and engages buyers who understand the asset.
- Does title or tenancy complexity prevent a disposal?
- No. Title complexity, mixed-use elements and in-place tenancies are common and acceptable. They are factored into how the asset is positioned and how the transaction is structured, rather than treated as barriers to sale.
- What size of block does Greybridge work with?
- Greybridge engages with owners of unsplit freehold residential blocks of three or more units and £300k+ freehold value across the UK, with flats and apartments preferred.
